Respan open-sources a Rust AI gateway where every provider, protocol, and feature is a plugin
The YC W24 team rebuilt its LiteLLM-based gateway as a tiny event-dispatch core, so providers (Mistral's is 22 lines), MCP, realtime voice, fallbacks, and PII redaction are all plugins, and an OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini client can call any model with tools and reasoning translated. It's pre-alpha, MIT/Apache-2.0, and runs locally from source (GitHub), with a paid hosted version for observability and evals.
